12 <strong>MPIfG</strong> Report 1999–2002 towards majority decision-making, the problem-solving capacity of such institutions will tend to be limited to matters on which a broad consensus can be reached among participating states. Moreover, nationally influential non-state actors – and the interests they represent – will differ greatly in their capacity to organize and act at the transnational level. What we can expect, therefore, is a characteristic selectivity of interest intermediation in transnational regimes that may differ greatly from the distribution of influence in national governance systems. 3. The interplay between the institutions of multilevel governance systems. There is no reason to think that functions which are affected by economic competition at the national level will necessarily be performed at the European or international level, and vice versa. Instead, there is a possibility of competence gaps or competence conflicts, or of the immobilism of interlevel “joint decision traps.” But it is also possible that a productive complementarity of competencies will develop that serves to increase the overall problem-solving capacity of multilevel governance. Which of these possibilities will prevail may well depend on the instruments applied. One of our main theoretical concerns is to develop methods for analyzing the compatibility and incompatibility of different types of regulation. The emergence of transnational multilevel policy-making affects not only states but also systems of self-regulation in (civil) society. Differences in the capacity of interest groups to organize and act on the transnational level have an impact on the bias of transnational governance systems – which, in turn, may affect the structure and operation of national systems. Generally, multilevel governance creates new opportunities for actors to choose among arenas and levels of action. Internationalization enables governments and nationally organized interest groups to use their influence on international decisions for domestic purposes. In allowing them to delegate to higher levels problems that they are unwilling or unable to solve, it also facilitates blame avoidance by shifting responsibility for difficult issues to international or supranational decision-makers. The institute’s research program attempts to clarify the conditions shaping the complex intertwining of public and private domestic policy, foreign policy and international relations. Empirical and theoretical projects are to contribute to a better understanding of the consequences for the problem-solving capacity of modern societies, for the mediation of interests, and for democratic legitimacy.
